Key Lime Pie With 5 Ingredients

I wanted a quick and easy pie that would mimic the flavor of Key Lime Pie but without the fuss. I tried a popular on-line recipe but found that without a gelling ingredient, the pie was messy to serve and the slices ran together. To solve the problem, I added Instant Pudding Mix and was very pleasantly surprised with the result. Note: use a LARGE graham cracker crust (deep dish type). If your store only carries the small prepared graham crusts, use two crusts.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1  graham cracker crust, prepared, large deep dish size (or two small)
• 8  ounces Cool Whip (I use Light)
• 6  ounces frozen limeade concentrate
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, Fat-Free
• 1 (6ounce) box Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix

Directions

1. Thaw Cool Whip according to instructions. Thaw limeade.
2. Whisk together in a large mixing bowl: Limeade and sweetened condensed Milk. Whisk in powdered instant pudding mix. Whisk in Cool Whip, saving 1 cup of Cool Whip for a nice topping.
3. Pour mixture into crust. Place remaining 1 cup of Cool Whip around the edges for a pretty presentation.
4. Allow an hour for the pie to firm up in the refrigerator.
